Sunday, August 1st, 2004.... 8)...!

One of Fozzers many fledglings, Ian, being treated by his Dad, (Frantic Fozzer), to a 42nd birthday present trial flight at our local aerodrome, Shobdon, EGBS.
Ian has had a trial flight at Staverton airfield, Gloucestershire, a few years ago in a Cessna 172, but this time it was in our favourite aircraft, the lovely Cessna 152...!
The weather was fantastic, 80 degrees Farenheit, low humidity, sunny, no wind, loads of on-lookers, perfect weather for flying...!

My lad before take-off, posing, as you do..... 8)

Sat in the cockpit, getting strapped in, phones on, rarin' to go... Grin

...!

Up, up, and away en route to The Forest of Dean where Ian lives... Wink

...!

Safely back again, (obviously, in a Cessna 152), and big smile as usual in these circumstances... Grin

...!

,,and not forgetting our fabulous Chief Flying Instructor, Dennis Davies, who lets us take control and have so much fun in our flying machines... 8)...!

Cheers all... Grin

...!

Paul.

P.S. This having fun in a Cessna is seriously addictive...!
...nearly time for another go... Grin
